    Quick question for anyone that might have any input on the subject..

     

    I am attempting to make my Lexar Jumpdrive 2.0 Pro 256 Mb USB drive
    bootable..

     

    I attempted just a minimal installation on it from a CD boot, and then
    installed to /dev/da0 .. set a bootable slice, and swap partition,
    performed the installation successfully, and reboot. No such luck.. the
    system will not boot from the drive.

     

    I have no trouble with other O.S.'s booting from the jumpdrive, and of
    course the system BIOS is set to boot from this device. I was just
    curious if anyone has any feedback on this scenario.

     

    Thanks
